// Package regtest provides a framework for writing gopls regression tests.
//
// User reported regressions are often expressed in terms of editor
// interactions. For example: "When I open my editor in this directory,
// navigate to this file, and change this line, I get a diagnostic that doesn't
// make sense". In these cases reproducing, diagnosing, and writing a test to
// protect against this regression can be difficult.
//
// The regtest package provides an API for developers to express these types of
// user interactions in ordinary Go tests, validate them, and run them in a
// variety of execution modes (see gopls/doc/daemon.md for more information on
// execution modes). This is achieved roughly as follows:
// + the Runner type starts and connects to a gopls instance for each
// configured execution mode.
// + the Env type provides a collection of resources to use in writing tests
// (for example a temporary working directory and fake text editor)
// + user interactions with these resources are scripted using test wrappers
// around the API provided by the golang.org/x/tools/internal/lsp/fake
// package.
//
// Regressions are expressed in terms of Expectations, which at a high level
// are conditions that we expect to be met (or not to be met) at some point
// after performing the interactions in the test. This is necessary because the
// LSP is by construction asynchronous: both client and server can send
// eachother notifications without formal acknowledgement that they have been
// fully processed.
//
// Simple Expectations may be combined to match specific conditions reported by
// the user. In the example above, a regtest validating that the user-reported
// bug had been fixed would "expect" that the editor never displays the
// confusing diagnostic.
